I had a final check over the overall review this morning and I am pleased with it. I kept it roughly within the 50MB guideline but the inclusion of videos made me go slightly over.  Overall I am happy with the outcome, I feel my design represents the brands well within siding with one brand over the other.

Last thing to do now is to add it to Dropbox and share with Paz.

All references cited and put in the reference list for both websites and pictures. I have put my appendix in of my survey results and re-read over the whole project. The last step to do now is to check that all the buttons work when I test the overall project in the browser.

I will then have one last look over to see if there are any design changes I need to carry out.

I have now got the design pretty much the way I want it to be. The videos now work how I want them too only the cursor has to stay on the video to be able to view it all. I have included all the navigational buttons needed to get around my report.

The next step now is to sort out my references.

Design Continued

It took me a while to find a design I liked and that I wanted to stick with. I have so far completed the cover page and buttons with the cider bottles to direct to the promotion section. I have put in all the text just need to input the pictures to go alongside it.

I am having some difficulty trying to get the videos to work on the animation option.

The next step is to get the videos to work the way I want and get the design fixed for each brands promotional information.

button design

On the main page of my review I will have an interactive menu with all the buttons of the different brands. I wanted to keep it simple yet clear what brand is for what market level. I have decided to keep all the brands black and white as I think it looks better against the colour co-ordinated backgrounds. 

Green-Low

Red- Mid

Yellow-High

My next step will be to actually make the buttons work

Hand in idea?

From starting my design I thought a good way to hand in my project with the time log would be to customise a beermat to fit with the design of my review as it would be relevant. I could hand my project in on a USB and attach it to the beermat.

I re-read my content a few times taking out parts that weren't important and I got the wordcount down to just under 5,500 not including references. 

The next stage is thinking about design..

An idea I had for the design of my report is to keep it very traditional with a lot of links to the making process e.g. using apples for the colour scheme, incorporation of barrels etc. I think this would be a good way to keep it connected with my overall review without siding with a certain brand for a design idea.
